NCAA Bracket Prediction - 1 Mar

It's less than 2 weeks until the official bracket is released, and after a tough loss to Colorado on Saturday, Arizona gave up its #1 seed, which allowed Gonzaga to finally get back to the top line of the bracket. Miami fell out of the bracket after a home loss to Virginia Tech, and BYU took that spot after sitting just outside the bracket for a couple of weeks. Here is my full current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and projected conference champs in bold:
